In 1998, an agreement was signed between the Ministry of Public Works and the City of Zaragoza, to carry out the rehabilitation of the building that houses the Fire museum, ideal location because it is a building linked to the history of the fire department.

Originally, this building was Convento de la Victoria, of the order of minima San Francisco de Paula, founded in 1576. It will be in the nineteenth century with the confiscation of church property when the convent was suppressed and posted to various military and civilian applications as passers items barracks, schools, workshops or municipal fire station. The current building before rehabilitation was greatly transformed due to the many uses of which had been the subject, however it is noteworthy that preserves the core of the most important building, the cloistered courtyard.

At the beginning of the 17th century the church was unfinished and in 1600 and 1603 the architect Gaspar de Villaverde was hired to build the chapels of the Virgen de la Soledad and the main chapel, respectively; Villaverde, with abundant documented work in Calatayud and Zaragoza, is considered the best Aragonese architect of the time.

Several years later, another prestigious "master builder" or architect Domingo Zapata (Town Hall of Huesca, Convent of San Ildefonso de Zaragoza) contracted the construction of the cloister staircase, covered with a dome decorated with plasterwork based on Mudejar tradition.

In 1835, with the disentailment of Mendizábal and the exclaustration, the convent was suppressed and converted into a barracks.

The building before its current rehabilitation was very transformed due to the multiple uses to which it had been subjected, however it is important to note that it retains the core of the most important building, the cloistered courtyard.

The building that houses the museum, attached to the Fire Station Zone No. 2, make up a set that adequately illustrates the reality of the firefighters, yesterday and today's day to day.
